Bigdata.com by RavenPack is now an official MCP connector for Claude

Financial research has always had a context-switching problem. You'd get a great answer from Claude, then open three other tabs to verify it. Now, that changes.

Bigdata.com is now available as an official MCP connector inside Claude.ai. Connect it once through Settings - Connectors, and Claude gains direct access to the financial intelligence layer that institutional teams have relied on for two decades.

What Claude can now draw on

• Over 1 billion financial documents: fundamentals, filings, earnings transcripts, and premium news
• Real-time news feeds updated continuously across global markets
• Structured, deterministic data for earnings, pricing, and fundamentals, not scraped estimates
• 20+ years of archive depth, purpose-built for financial search and retrieval
• Premium source attribution on every claim with named source, date, and URL
• Financial-domain NLP built on RavenPack's institutional infrastructure, not general-purpose embeddings

Does it actually make a difference?

We ran a controlled evaluation across 32 reports and 8 standardised financial research tasks, scored blind. The results were clear.

The biggest gap appeared in grounding (how well claims are anchored to real, traceable sources) where Claude with Bigdata.com scored 82% versus 61% with standard web search. Every other metric also moved in the right direction: factual accuracy, completeness, recency, and depth.

The practical gain is greatest for anyone who currently context-switches between Claude and financial data sources. The connector doesn't change how you use Claude, it just means you no longer have to leave the conversation to verify what it's telling you.

Go further with Skills and Plugins

The connector gives Claude the data. Skills give it a playbook - structured templates for earnings previews, company briefs, risk assessments, and investment memos that produce consistent, institutional-quality output without prompt engineering. The skill is open source, so you can fork it and adapt the templates to your team's standards.

It also pairs with Claude Cowork for fully automated workflows. One example: a scheduled task that runs every morning, scans overnight news, cross-references your portfolio, and delivers individual PDF briefs with source attribution.
